I had a record party last night and I have to tell you, the 228 be is just an awesome speaker. Everyone who came over were just blown away by them. If the recording is good they have a clarity that sounds more like reall life than almost any speaker I have heard, regardless of price. Instruments and voices just hang in the air, and the depth! For a rather large speaker they do an amazing disappearing act. The dispersion is increadable, you can sit all the way over to one side of the room and the soundstage does not collapse like most speakers. The power handling is over the top compared to the f208, I usually don't listen that loud but last night we were partying so I was cranking it, for the first time ever I could turn the volume all the way up on uncompressed recordings and the 228be were just unflappable, crazy! I am very impressed by the 228be, People who say metal or ceramic drivers are fatiguing? NOT! people who say ported bass is boomy and you can hear the port? NOT! I read a comment on Revel house sound as "boring" and it made me laugh out loud, these speakers are anything but boring, they are musical and fun to listen to, what more do you want? The Revel design team should be proud of themselves. Bravo Revel!!!
Revel F228BE
For all you Revel lovers out there and those who should be.
I just received my new Revel F228BE speakers and after only about 12 hours on them i must say they sound absolutely amazing.
Spectacular mids and highs, great solid and detailed rhythmic bass. Everything i loved about the F206s and F208s but much more refined, better bass, better soundstage and hear deaper into the music. They also play louder much more easily being more efficient.
I'm using an Ayre K-5xe MP preamp, Levinson 532H amplifier with Oppo105d playing into a Benchmark DAC2. Cant wait til there are another 100 hours on these, I'm super happy with them already. Truly amazing speakers!
